Karen Black runs an odd boarding house where the tenants, equally odd, sign over their government checks to her and then start disappearing. There are amusing scenes of Karen and a yellow headed Amazon parrot, a talking wheelchair and some nearly giallo class killings.

Arte Johnson is also in it as is Berryman as in The Hills Have Eyes, Berryman.

There's excessive scenery chewing and parrots...what more you could ask for?
